Hi Paul, we recently had a 2005 Audi A4 2.0 Tdi with a severe engine knock,sounded like noise from timing area,under investigation we found out that the 2.0 PD engine has a known fault (and recall at Audi),the noise is caused by a worn drive chain between the balance shafts and the OIL PUMP drive,on the later A4 they have been in some cases replacing engines and turbos due to oil pressure failures at 20k!!! The job is a bit of a pig,subframe off,gearbox out to access sump bolts and front end off,you will find that the tensioner and guides will have worn away and the sprocket will be totally smooth. Hope this helps guys.
